A Soulslike action game based on the Chinese classic Journey to the West. You play the Destined One, a staff-wielding monkey warrior fighting a parade of gods and demons. It became the first Chinese AAA game to hit globally.
Kit's verdict · 8.1/10
A jaw-dropping boss rush with spectacle to spare and level design that doesn't keep up.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Huge variety of stunning bosses
- Spells and transformations are fun
- Incredible art and mythology
Not so much
- Invisible walls and confusing levels
- Weak checkpoints and pacing in places
Play it if boss-fight junkies who want a lighter, flashier Soulslike.
Skip it if anyone who wants rich exploration between the fights.

Tips
Play it better
- Immobilize freezes an enemy in place; it's your most important spell, so open boss fights with it.
- Build Focus with light attacks, then spend it on heavy attacks for big damage.
- Try all three stances. Smash is the all-rounder, Pillar lets you perch out of reach and Thrust has long reach.
- Collect Spirits from defeated yaoguai; equipping them gives you a short transformation attack.
- Upgrade your gourd and medicines at shrines whenever you get the materials.
